List of Literary Journals for LGBTQ Writers, Women, and Writers of Color

List of Literary Journals for LGBTQ Writers, Women, and Writers of Color | Readin', 'Ritin', and (Publishing) 'Rithmetic | Scoop.it
From josephdante.com - July 28, 2014 10:00 PM

In a previous post, I mentioned my desire to compile a list of journals and presses that exclusively focus on publishing underrepresented voices, such as women, LGBTQ writers, and writers of color. I’ve finally managed to pull something together that hopefully may prove to be a good starting point and resource for those writers who may wish to find a good home for their writing. Or maybe readers who wish to read more widely or diversely.

The Last Day at Giovanni's Room, America's Oldest Gay Bookstore

The Last Day at Giovanni's Room, America's Oldest Gay Bookstore | Readin', 'Ritin', and (Publishing) 'Rithmetic | Scoop.it
From www.rollingstone.com - May 23, 2014 2:29 PM

Across the street from Philadelphia bookstore Giovanni's Room two men kiss. Double-decker tour buses pass by the shop's location on the corner of 12th and Pine Street. A poster to re-elect Brian Sims, Pennsylvania's first openly gay state legislator, looks out from the store window. Giovanni's Room takes up two floors of a house built in 1820, just a few blocks down from Pennsylvania Hospital, and, as of May 17th, it closed, probably for good.


Holding hands, a straight couple stops near the store's outside wall to read a Blue Historical Marker citing Giovanni's Room as a "refuge" for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. Founded in 1973, the shop is known as the oldest gay bookstore in America. On its final day, just weeks before a federal court struck down Pennsylvania's gay marriage ban, the front door was adorned with a different kind of marker, this one announcing, "50% off everything – this is our last day. Thanks for all the years of love and support, XOXO Giovanni's Room."

Annual LGBT community survey provides useful data for both editors and publishers | Readin', 'Ritin', and (Publishing) 'Rithmetic | Scoop.it

A new survey of LGBT consumers, including many readers of LGBT publications, holds good news for publishers and editors alike.
One takeaway message is that gay media still matters.
